POT,1AN, AND KETTLE CLEANER. I

Patented Apr. 11, 1916.

Application led March 26, 1915. Serial No. 17,266.

To all whom t may concern Beit knownthat I, PYRMA E. FISCHER, a subjectof the King of Great Britain, residing at New York, in the county of NewYork and the State of New York, have in-v vented a new andy usefullImprovement in Pot, Pan, and Kettle Cleaners, of which the following isa specification.

This lnventlon relates to an inexpensive, durable, efiiclent andsamtary4 cleaner for pots, pans, kettles and other like utensils. 1

The invention consists of the novel -fea ltures of. constructionhereinafter described,l

' curved inwardly` as shown at 3. A .handle pointed out in the claim andshown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a sideelevati-on. Fig. 2 is a. sectional elevation. Fig. 3 is a horizontalvsection, a clamping ring being shown in plan.y Fig. 4 is an enlargeddetail -view of a of acup' adapted'to be enveloped therein, lsaid cuphaving an upwardly projecting and portion of the cleaning fabric.

In constructing the device I employ a cup of any suitable material,preferably metal, and which is provided with an'interlorly extendingbead 2 adjacent Qits top, the rim portion 'of the 'cup above said bead'being 4 has its standard 5 secured to the bottomy of the cup, thehandlebemg arranged centrally above the cup. v A suitable cleaningfabric envelops the cup and folds vover the' bead, and securely holdingit in place., The ring is fitted into and removed from position bypressing the upturned end portions together thereby reducing the.diameter of the ring. By having the rim portion curved inwardly the cupis slightly reduced in diameter at'the top, and accidental displacementof theclamping ring prevented.

Vhile any suitable fabric may be employed I prefer to use a cloth havingheavy intersecting strands to which is stitched or otherwise secured ametal strip, cord or the like which is arranged upon the cloth in a'spiral coil, `.as indicated in Fig. 4. /The cleaning fabric' can beeasily removed for washing, or yfor the purpose of inserting a new-clothin osition.

What I clalm isz- The combination with a cleaning fabric,

centrally arranged handle, supported from the bottom of the cup, andhaving an in-4 teriorv bead, and an inwardly curving rim portion, thefabric overlapping said rim portion when in position, and a ,splitspring Avclamping ring, having upturnd 'end porrim portion 3 and a partof the bead 2. A

split, spring clamping ring-7 having upturned portions 8`A fits within.the cup and bears on the bead 2, clamping the fabric'4 between the rimportion of the cup and said tions, said ring when in positionv beinglocked between the bead and the inwardlycurving portion of the rim, andgripping the overlapping portion of the fabric.
